Functional Medicine
What is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine is a comprehensive and personalized approach to health, focusing on identifying and addressing the root causes of illness, rather than just treating symptoms. It uses western diagnostic tools, such as blood work, saliva, breath and urine tests to pinpoint imbalances. A detailed health history, diet, environmental and lifestyle factors are also examined.
With the right tools and guidance your body has an amazing capacity to heal and to thrive.
The functional medicine approach takes a deep, investigative dive into uncovering the root causes of illness—leaving no stone unturned. Similarly, Eastern medicine traditions such as Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda focus on addressing imbalances at their source, using time-tested, holistic methods. Dr. Margo brings over two decades of experience in integrative healthcare, drawing from multiple healing systems to create truly individualized care. By blending advanced modern diagnostics with the wisdom of Eastern practices, she offers a transformative path to lasting wellness.
If you’re here, chances are you’re ready to feel vibrantly healthy. Maybe you are not getting answers or results from other providers or practitioners. Maybe you’ve been dismissed and your symptoms have been ignored. Now is the time for a fresh approach and to connect the dots. Healing is not one-size-fits-all. Dr. Margo takes a root-cause, personalized approach to help you feel like yourself again—calm, clear, and vibrant.
You’ll receive clear, compassionate guidance every step of the way—with actionable steps to not just restore your health, but help you truly thrive.

Herbs and Supplements
Nutraceuticals, supplements, and herbal medicine (Chinese, Western or Ayurvedic) will be a key aspect of your individualized treatment plan.
In the functional medicine approach, herbs and supplements aren’t used to suppress symptoms, they’re carefully selected tools that help restore balance, resilience, and function at the root level.
Dr. Margo has extensive training and over twenty years of clinical experience using these facets of integrative medicine. She only uses high-quality professional grade products from reputable companies with rigorous purity and testing standards.
The goal is always to rebalance the body so you don’t need supplements long-term.
We use them as support while we address deeper root causes with nutrition, lifestyle, mindset, and nervous system care.
Food as Medicine
The functional medicine approach to “food as medicine” is rooted in the idea that food is not just fuel—it’s information that speaks directly to your body’s biology, influencing hormones, inflammation, immunity, gut health, and even mental clarity.
You receive personalized nutrition, Not One-Size-Fits-All. Your body is unique—and your nutrition should be too. Rather than follow trendy diets or restrictive plans, we explore what your body truly needs based on your symptoms, goals, and root imbalances. One woman may need support for blood sugar, while another needs gut healing or hormone balance. Your plan will be customized to meet you where you are.
Root Cause Healing. Instead of masking symptoms like fatigue, bloating, anxiety, or weight gain, we ask:
“Why is this happening?”. Then we use food to address the root cause—whether it’s inflammation, nutrient depletion, cortisol imbalance, or a sluggish gut.
In functional medicine, every meal is a chance to nourish, heal, and shift your body toward balance.
